OSIRIS-REx Mission Quiz: Test Your Knowledge

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is collaborating with NASA on the OSIRIS-REx sample-return mission that launched on September 8, 2016. The mission could help answer fundamental questions about how our solar system formed, how life began, and help us learn more about the factors that can influence asteroids' paths. OSIRIS-REx also marks the first time the CSA is part of an international sample-return mission.

Question 6. On board the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, there are instruments to accomplish three tasks: navigate, survey the asteroid and retrieve the sample. How many instruments will be used to survey the asteroid?
